A Gaming Aperitif

Penny Arcade is pretty much the greatest gaming website for readers. Every notion of gaming culture and the construction of new types of games needs to be run through their filter, sifted through their mouths, and spit out like a wine tasting. Delectable.

Perhaps the most profound thing about new games I’ve ever read:

I’ve read and re-read every article that breaks the surface of the refurbished Guild Wars 2 presence. I don’t care if they ever launch the game at this point. It’s already contributed to the health of the genre simply by being a judging, omnipresent force.

The same was said over at G4TV about The Old Republic staring down other MMOs forcing developers to step up their existing games, almost a year out from gamers to sitting down to play TOR.
